Representation and Ideology.
TASK 1 – WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!
- The Star Image game.
TASK 2 – The Theory.
- This slideshow below tries to explain what representation means and how we can use music star image to illustrate the concept. Also this will act as research into the design of your own star, which you will be photographing in the week beginning 18th November.
TASK 3
Create a Prezi on the representation of a star.
- Choose ONE music star who would feature in your genre of magazine.
- Take a copy of this Prezi.
- Find examples from a range of media texts surrounding your star (their meta-narrative).
- For each of your media texts include a description of how they are represented through the image,the tweet, the article, the lyric…
- How is the star image represented, portrayed, conveyed?
- What is implied, inferred, suggested?
- Underline or bold every adjectives and every time you use the term represent or a synonym.
- Illustrate with photos, screen shots and examples to make it less of an essay.
TASK 4 – Design Your Star
Create a Google slide with images of what you would like your cover model to wear….include hair, make up, jewellery, accessories, costumes and any relevant props. Also, indicate how you would like them to pose – their body language, gestures and facial expression to convey their meta-narrative and fit the genre. How do you want their star image to come across? How do you want them to be represented?
